Rezension von Amanda GrafI am very confused but somehow satisfied.
Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“She knew that women were rarely the centers of such stories. Instead, they were eye candy, arm candy, victims, or love interests. Mostly, they existed to help the great white hetero hero on his fucking epic journey. When there was a heroine, she weighed very little, wore very little, and had had her teeth fixed.”</i></b></blockquote> Well, wasn't this disappointing...I started the book with such high hopes, especially after having read We Were Liars. I have to say, the way the story is told, with its regressive narrative, really worked and kept me interested until the final chapter. But I felt like I was baited all the time - Lockhart kept promising me this huge plot twist, like in her previous novel, chapter after chapter, and hinting about more secrets and revelations...but she never followed through. The ending was very meh and ordinary and it felt way too easy for the main character. Speaking of characters, it was yet another issue for me - I just couldn't like or engage with practically ANY of them. Imogen is self-entitled and selfish, Forrest is a privileged idiot and Jule is a little psycho, to say it mildly. I could sympathize with her a bit as the story went on and I could get to know more about her and what really happened, but I can't say I really LIKED her or cheered for her at any point. It all felt like a YA "Catch Me If You Can", but not in a good way. I flew through the book, it's true, and narrative and pace-wise, this one is better than "We Were Liars". But I ended the novel feeling angry and disappointed, and, if not for the narrative style, the constant need to know more, I would've given this 1-2 stars (that's how pissed I was). I don't think I'll be picking up more books by this author, at least for a while.
